I found what must have been the only Strata East LP sitting in an Australian record shop... damn was I surprised... anyway, its Mtume's 2LP massive-sounding "Alkebu-lan", not exactly samplable but I can always feel this epic free jazz stuff.

Shipped in this week was Gal Costa's "India" (featuring A. Verocai arrangements) which in the end was kind of underwhelming but still pretty nice. As well as Pharoah Sanders' "Izipho Zam" which as always with his stuff was much appreciated...

Also got a lot of cruddy fusion (from digging)... and some Japanese disco jams courtesy of Superfly.

nice -- if thats an OG its worth a few quid .... good find. how much did you pay out of interest??

here's my latest ones. some trades, some interent buys and a few real world grabs:

picked the Judee Sill LP up as a blind buy only to find its not really to my taste -- its up for trade if anyone wants it.

'hubble bubble' is a rather boring library of childrend comical music wit han one absolutley amazing track that has a nice funky breakbeat thing with burping and farty noises over the top --- will definately find its way ont omy next mix!!
